CRISIS AT THE CORE–NEW REPORT ON COLLEGE READINESS FROM ACT
Even with a diploma in hand, many high school graduates do not have all of the skills to succeed in college-level coursework or workforce training. This is the conclusion of a new report from ACT, titled Crisis at the Core: Preparing All Students for College and Work. Among the findings, only 22 percent of the 1.2 million high school graduates who took the ACT Assessment in 2004 achieved scores that would deem them ready for college in all three basic academic areas-English, math, and science.
